You I Love Because


Because I love you I accept you for who you are

For all your broken bones and scars

 All the insecurites and minuities and the frivilous things you believe you are

Because I love you I accept your diffidence

Your lack of self confidence and love for yourself

Because I love you I learned how to protect you from you

Hearing your silent cries for help and holding you through your "dreams" 

You ask me why do I stay even when you see the struggle it causes

But I ask you why not when I only see the joy it prolongs

For your life For our life Just for life

Its simply..

Because I love you

So I won't go
